That Monday at school, Alice was like a superstar. Everyone, from freshman to senior, jock to nerd, boy, girl, geek and cheerleader alike, had to congratulate her on the most awesome party of the school year. Sure, school hadn’t been in that long, but everyone, especially Alice, knew her party was going to be hard to top.
So yes, it was abundantly clear that Alice had suddenly become the most popular girl in school, which made it all that much harder for Dana to be seen alone with her. Dana was popular in her own right, being the school’s tennis star, but she mostly just hung out with Tina, Bette and Alice, and kept everyone else at arm’s length, even her teammates.
Before, the girls could sneak off to the eraser room or janitors’ closet with ease. Now, since everyone recognized and just had to say “hello” to Alice, slipping by unnoticed was quickly becoming impossible. And Alice started hanging out with other people after school, when she wasn’t running the newspaper. She made an appearance at every party, and would immediately be encircled by at least a dozen people. Dana almost never had a chance to be alone with her. Everyone wants a piece of me, she said at one point, in jest, but it was true. Everyone did.
Two weeks had gone by, two weeks after Alice’s party, and she was still Miss Popularity. And Dana was getting pretty frustrated.
That morning at school, Alice managed to tear herself away from a group of boys long enough to embrace Dana, whispering in her ear, “Hey, how’s my favorite gal?”
“Oh, are you referring to me?” Dana said firmly, nearly ripping herself from Alice’s embrace.
“What the…” Alice trailed off as Dana stalked away from her, up the campus to the school‘s entrance. “Hey, hey Fairbanks! Stop right there!” She commanded, and Dana obliged begrudgingly, spinning around and crossing her arms.
“What?”
Alice caught up with her, grabbing her arm and leading her to a tree, out of the way of everyone. She tried to look happy, saying, “What is wrong with you?” through a smile.
“What’s wrong with me? How about I haven’t spent five minutes with you since your stupid friggen party. You’re always off at other parties or with other people.” She felt her voice volume go up and brought it back down, looking past Alice to the teens who walked by, watching them. She shook her head. “I can’t do this. Not here.” Then, she turned and left again.

I kind of enjoy slow burn…I’ll just stick with your ride. Damn, the Ericass is back… Man, he never learns, all he needs is more asses kicking. LOL…Love it… please continue
Manda, i haven’t read this chappy yet but i will right after this. i just needed to say that you can never stop writing this story. I will be your fan till the end, no matter how many chapters you write. This story is amazing and i’m along for the ride, until you finish. This story is truly awesome Manda, and i will read it no matter how many chapter’s it takes. The fic is like a whole other show and i love it. Don’t ever think your fans will get bored and stop reading, cause that will never ever happen. We love ya!, okay now i gotta read this most likely awesome chapter. Peace!
I am on your train and it does not matter where you take us. I hope that the voice did not belong to Eric, but I have a feeling that it was his. Alice better get her act together or she will loose Dana to Lara. Next stop please.
i am for the ride too! i like so much this story and you can’t take your time cause every chapter are soo good and i enjoy read it! isn’t slow for me, you can write as long as you want i will read it! take care.
Let me start by saying that I love your writing. I don’t feel that this is spinning out of control, you’ve all the control. I don’t think that time is moving to slow with B&T, in fact I love the slow pace, we can really see how the girls get to know one another and that’s great and so sweet, I love your B&T :o)) I think that Dana & Alice should just be good friends and Dana should hook up with Lara. That could really be hot!!! But overall I would like if the story was mainly about B&T and a little about the crazy gang :o)) You can be sure I will read this amazing story and enjoy the “ride” to the end. Which I hope is far away…thanks for asking us readers what we think :o))
Good chapter and damn drama coming and who the hell is that, that talking to Bette!
i think Lara and Dana are more suited; I can’t stand spacey Alice’s irresponsibility with the safety of Dana’s reputation or anyone elses for that matter: her mouth is way to quick and too big…just my opinion!!!! but I ‘d wanna strangle her if she was my gf or friend..
No complaints from me on this chapter or story Manda. As long as Tina and Bette are together (*ahem* Ilene), I’m satisfied. TiBette eraser room (damn, or any room) seesions always help with that satisfaction…don’t worry, I’m still referring to the story. Either way, as the writer, take the story in the direction that you see fit. I’ll still read this story even if in the worst case scenario we’re heading to Heartbreakville, population: Tina and Bette. Shit, I’d read anything that you wrote…type the letter A and I’ll click to read it more than once…especially while on the J to the O to the B. And extra props to you for writing the other charcters so well. Memo to Alice: upon learning about Lara a six pack of Haterade will be shipped to you. Drink up! I’m off to bed but you know that I’ll be looking forward to next chapter Manda.
time’s not moving too slow for me, i’ll take as much b/t as i can. thanks so much for sharing.
Real good chapter.I can’t wait to read the next =)
Ouch I sense heartbreak and overall discomfort on the horizon for these young ladies *please be gentle*. But on a serious note this story is really appealing. Why you might ask. The theme is universal whether your gay straight confused or touched we all get the idea of falling in love. It reminds me a lot of Incredibly True Adventures. Anyways Manda take it as slow as you like its quality not quantity, content not abundance that matters. Thanks
HEY! Of course I’m in for theride! I totally love this story! Take as long as you want and then a bit longer! Me likey a lot! LOL So that’s Eric I presume… Dramadrama… Hope we get anew chappy soon! THANKS!
Definitely take all the time you want and need. I know how Dana feels. Way back when I dated a really likable teacher and when we went to places like basketball games students always came up to talk to him. Hell one time a girl jumped on him wrapping her legs around his waist. It was like dating a celebrity and sometimes I just felt like saying, “Will you all leave him the fuck alone so I can spend a little time with him? He’s my damn boyfriend and I’m pulling rank!” Alright I’m done with that sleepy rant. lol Anyway I’m here for the ride. :)
Take all the time you need.. This story is too good to have an ending LOL ok that was a very lame line but whatever.. I’m in for the ride..
Hun’ take all the time u need!, if you have to do 200 + plus chapters to get all what you want to say out, do it, We enjoy long stories, well I don’t know about anyone else lol, but I love long stories, and I just knew when dana bumped into a girl, it was going to be lara lol!
love your story… and take your time we have at least 8 months… so who did bette run into.. i hope it wasn’t eric… please continue soon
i’ll stay for the ride as long as you’ll drive us..wonderful story…so lara is here, hmmm…i smell trouble for danish…and i hope it was alice who caught bette at the room..B&T are so sweet…just keep them together
Still enjoying your story as one of my faves, will be along for the ride as long as you’re driving. Love this sweet story.
Nooo! that’s what I said when I read “Lara Perkins”, fortunately I was all by myself in the office. Anyway, as much as I’d like to read your updates more often, you should take your time to arrange the tons of ideas I’m sure you have for the girls in your head. I agree that the stories take life by themselves but don’t say that again, IC said it before and look what she’s done!
I love your story. I don’t comment much, but I always read. Whatever you write or however slow you go, I will be reading. Just keep writing however you want. Thanks for sharing this story.
You’re story’s been moving at a great pace, I think, and I continue to enjoy it. However long it takes you to ‘keep your promise,’ I’ve got my ticket in hand! Not Lara! Gah. However, Tibette and an eraser room with keep me daydreaming all day… you write it so tastefully, and I enjoyed very much. Shame it’s short, but looking forward to many, many more posts!
I am totally on board. You can even stow me in the trunk, thats how much I adore your story and look forward to each chapter.
Manda L. Please, please, please keep writing this wonderful story. You are free to cover as many segues as you can think of as I will be here to read and thoroughly enjoy every single one. I will also reassure and encourage you whenever you feel the needs as your brilliance is worth the effort. You have a truly exquisite narrative style that draws the reader into this incredible and extraordinary world and keeps them there. There is also a measure of innocence that is very appealing as Bette & Tina, along the Alice & Dana and Carmen & Shane, deal with their daily existence and all the joys, pleasures, concerns, and challenges it bring. I am really looking forward to reading every new post and discovering more about the lives of these characters. None of them are world-weary or cynical about life and love. (Okay Shane is a bit but is a softer, kinder way than the show portrays). It is a delight and pleasure to follow your fantastic fan fiction. Many, many thanks for all of your blood, sweat, tears and toils, Your Loyal Fan.
